Chapter 116, Poison
She had asked the man what he wanted.
Flocks of birds swept over the hills, shadows covering half of the sky. At that time, the palace and the imperial city slowly lit up a Kong Ming lantern, and the Son of Heaven led the ministers and concubines to release Kong Ming lanterns in the imperial garden, standing alone in the crowd and looking into the distance. She and Shen Yang stood slightly away from the crowd, the moon-white frenulum entangled with the frenulum of the person beside her.
Gu Mingxiu asked him: "With such a view, what wish will His Highness make?" ”
The gentle and easy-going man looked down at her tenderly, and raised his hand to hold her in his arms. During the family banquet, the prince hugged the princess and bowed his head to speak in her ear.
The crown prince Shen Yang was not ambitious, gentle and humble, and he was in harmony with the crown princess Qin Se and Ming...... At that time, it really confused many people.
He hugged her, smiled on his lips, and spoke firmly and gently in her ear: "Wishes are things that are left to unrealistic, incapable people. Xiu'er, we have great ambitions, and we don't need to care about those ethereal things. ”
"We know what we want, and we're going to get it, aren't we?" Shen Yang smiled lightly in her ear and said softly, "Xiu'er, don't let your guard down because of the peaceful appearance at this moment, at this time.... It's when it's most dangerous. ”
Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes, and the loss in his eyes was fleeting: "Well, Your Highness..... I understand. ”
What did you want to say at that time.... She wanted to talk to Shen Yang about the expectations in her heart, and she wanted to share some of her daughter's thoughts with her husband. It's obviously a good day, but she is not allowed to have the slightest relaxation, and she is not allowed to have the innocent and simple nightmares of that time.
Later, much later, she was injured by the attack and moved to another place to recuperate.
On the surface, he went to another place to recuperate because his body was not good and his old illness was difficult to heal, but in fact, he was hiding his injuries and recuperating from his injuries, and he was planning for convenience. At that time, she lived in a peaceful town, and there was a noble man next to her, who often invited her to travel with her and taught her some interesting things.
There was also a lantern festival in that place, but it was not as grand as Jing Zhou.
The master also laughed at her for not liking to make a wish, not like a little girl, but like a heavy-hearted old lady.
"There is nothing good or bad about making a wish, it's just a good hope." The master played a game with her, and after winning her son, he knocked on the table and said gently, "If you make a wish, no one will laugh at you." Nothing bad, it's just .... If you say your wish, it won't work, and you don't have to ask me what I wish. ”
The memory came to an abrupt end.
Gu Mingxiu raised his head suddenly, and subconsciously reached out to cover Shen Huai's hand.
The young man who lazily teased her chuckled, then straightened up and sat back. He did his actions carelessly, leaving her side and taking his hand back at will, but only half of it was quickly grabbed by Gu Mingxiu's wrist. The little girl's strength was not strong, not enough to make him feel pain, but the moment the skin touched, he obviously felt Gu Mingxiu's slight trembling.
Shen Huai raised his eyebrows and quickly held her hand with his backhand. The girl's hands were small and slender, and they were wrapped in the palm of his hand when he held it. His fingers were cold and unwarm, and Shen Huai couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong?" ”
The young man's tone suddenly became serious, and he was stunned again when he taught Gu Mingxiu.
The master in her memory had taught her a lot of things, and her face was also very memorable to Gu Mingxiu. It was a twilight old man who was much older than her, with an old face and a spirit of pace, slightly white temples but bright eyes, and a little helplessness to see through the world.
At that time, because of her plan, she specially confirmed that His Royal Highness King Xiao was on the frontier.
Moreover.... After she left, she also asked someone to look for the trace of the master, but the other person also seemed to leave the place after a month. She was afraid that Shen Yang would think too much, so she also stopped thinking about finding the other party's traces. And in this life, she also sent people to that town, but the family where she lived at the beginning had not been down, and the neighbor was not that high-ranking person.
Gu Mingxiu knew that some people could only look at fate.
She just shook her head slightly, but Shen Huai frowned slightly because she couldn't get her answer. Carefully looking at the other party's expression, and finding out how much Gu Mingxiu was distracted and a little bit lonely, Shen Huai suddenly lowered his voice and sneered: "This king is in front of you, and he teaches you not to care so much?" ”
Gu Mingxiu came back to her senses, and Shen Huai had already shaken off her hand and stood up.
The boy stared at her condescendingly, his eyes glowing with disappointment and irritation. He tilted his head slightly, sitting against the light. A lamp flew behind him, illuminating the poor spot on Shen Huai's face: "I'll send you back to the General's Mansion." ”
"You send me....?" Gu Mingxiu was slightly stunned, and helped the green tile on the side to get up.
Shen Huai stood at a low place, but Gu Mingxiu was a little taller than him, and he still needed to raise his head to observe the other party's expression: "You..."
"Isn't this king unsightly?" Shen Huai interrupted Gu Mingxiu's words, sneered, and looked at her with displeasure, "Shen Yang originally wanted to come to a hero to save the beauty, but General An was not satisfied. Although this king saved you easily, in the end he is a life-saving benefactor, why, can't you see anyone? ”
Shen Huai's tone was full of anger, like a child for no reason.
Gu Mingxiu smiled, shaking what to say.
The night wind blew the cloak off the little girl's shoulders and fell, and the snow-white dress flew away. In Shen Huai's suddenly cold gaze, the girl who was smiling a second ago pulled the corners of her lips weakly, and the hand that was on the buckle of the cloak slipped off. She didn't even shake for a moment, and in an instant she closed her eyes and went limp and collapsed.
At the same time, the cloak fell down the eaves to the bottom of the tall building. Shen Huai had no worries, reached out to take Gu Mingxiu in his arms, and took her to kneel on the roof. Quickly shot at several of her acupuncture points to seal it, Shen Huai said, "You-"
The person who raised his hand to hold the corner of his forehead lowered his head and coughed in his arms, stopping Shen Huai's questioning. She covered the corners of her lips, and bright red blood flowed from between her fingers, dyeing her dress red and white little by little.
"You only have five stone scatter on you?" Shen Huai's color changed, and he said sharply: "What are you-"
"Don't say it...."Gu Mingxiu coughed lowly, "Hide from them." ”
"You're messing around!" Shen Huai frowned and scolded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in his arms lost consciousness in the next moment.
Shen Huai's eyes suddenly showed a little worry and indifference. He quickly picked up Gu Mingxiu, easily and quickly swept across the eaves in the night, and disappeared over the tall buildings over the lanterns.
Gu Mingxiu woke up in his own room.
She had just sat up with her forehead propped up, when the person lying on the edge of the bed was awakened by her start. Gu Liyi, who woke up by rubbing her eyes, yawned, and pounced the moment she opened her eyes and saw her: "Sister Xiu, you're awake!" ”
"How long have I been unconscious?" Gu Mingxiu propped up his forehead and frowned and asked.
"It's not long before it's just a day." Gu Liyi looked at her expression cautiously, reached out and took the clothes and draped them on her back, and said without waiting for her to ask, "Not many people outside know about the disappearance of your lanterns." You and Shen Yang were hunted down, and then taken captive, it was His Royal Highness King Xiao who rescued you and sent you back. ”
"His Royal Highness King Xiao not only saved you, but also caught a few people who robbed you." Gu Liyi whispered to Gu Mingxiu, "It's just that your body is weak and you can't stand the toss so you faint." Shen Yang also came to see it once, and knew that those people who robbed you were just here to seek revenge from the general's mansion. ”
Gu Mingxiu instantly understood: "He sent me back?" ”
"Yes." Gu Liyi also understood what Gu Mingxiu wanted to ask, and hurriedly replied, "His Royal Highness King Xiao avoided others when he sent you back, it was we who changed your clothes for you, and also let Qiao Wu cover up. My grandfather and my mother didn't find out about the fact that you were poisoned, so don't worry, sister. ”
Gu Ming embroidered his chin: "That's fine." Has Yangzhou's letter arrived? ”
"Gu Qingyue's letter has arrived, but I won't give it to you now." Gu Liyi looked at Gu Mingxiu as she was about to get out of bed, so she immediately held her down, frowned and said angrily, "Sister Xiu, you have a good rest!" Don't think about anything else now! His Royal Highness King Xiao said that your body is very bad, Qiao Wu's medicine is no longer reliable, and you can't work anymore. ”
"What are you doing listening to him?" Gu Mingxiu said softly, "What about others? ”
Mo Zhu saw Gu Mingxiu wake up earlier, so she went out and brought a basin of water in, and she put down her veil: "His Royal Highness King Xiao is now discussing with the general in the study. His Royal Highness Jing Zhou didn't know what it was for, but since he saved the girl last night, the general naturally wanted to leave people behind to rest. ”
"Girl, Mr. Qiao is here." Agarwood entered and said in a low voice.
Gu Mingxiu glanced at her, and looked at Gu Liyi in a warm voice: "Mother, they don't know about my waking up, why don't you go and tell your mother?" I also want to take Qiao Wu with me, so that my mother can ask what I don't get. ”
Gu Liyi glanced at Gu Mingxiu suspiciously, and then got up and nodded after hesitating for a moment: "Okay, it's just that Sister Xiu, you can't deceive people." ”
When Gu Liyi went out, Mo Zhu stepped forward and handed her the things in his sleeve: "Girl, this is what His Royal Highness King Xiao told the girl to see when she wakes up." She said in a low voice, "She likes the lantern that the girl brought to Mulan, but she heard that the girl had an accident, so she ran out in a hurry.... The slave maid took her back, and no one should have noticed. ”
Gu Mingxiu opened the letter and looked at it, and sighed: "No wonder she, if we go back to Yangzhou in a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide these things." Let's find a reason for Mu Lan to come out, Gu Changge still needs her as a 'traitor'. ”
Mo Zhu nodded, and quietly retreated with the basin of water.
Agarwood saw that she kept looking at the letter and didn't speak, just stood quietly aside.
There was nothing else in the room except for the slight sound of breathing, and after a moment of silence, Gu Mingxiu put away the letter: "It's nothing important, Agarwood, you go down first." ”
Agarwood chin: "The girl has a good rest, if there is something to call the slave maid." ”
Gu Mingxiu stared at the letter in his hand, raised his hand to hold his head, and sighed softly.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
